I had my surgery with Dr. Frankel last week. I was very anxious leading up to the surgery and even considered cancelling the entire thing days before the surgery. I'm so happy I didn't and I'm now on the other end of it all. My surgery went well and my recovery is going extremely well. I feel so much further ahead in the healing process then I was at this stage after my primary rhinoplasty. I'm very happy I chose Dr. Frankel to perform the surgery. I will provide a more detailed review once I'm further along in my healing.

Hi There! My surgery date is fast approaching. I have good days and bad days about my feelings towards it. If Dr. Frankel can deliver on his morphs I will be very happy. After seeing all the great reviews on here, I am feeling optimistic. I feel like I have chosen a great surgeon, so now I just need to wait and pray for it to go well. I have received some messages from people asking for pictures, so I have attached the images that were taken from his office. If you have ANY tips on anything I can do now to help with the healing please share. Thank-you!

Rooting for ya! Hope it goes well! You are taking action to improve something you're not happy about. You've done the research, you've put in the hours, now it's time to follow your heart and have faith it will work out for the best!

Thank-you! I've appreciated your advice so much on this journey. Any tips on what I can do to prepare?

I'm sure that you probably are much better prepared than I was. Make sure to have some saline spray, lots of Q tips, vaseline, low sodium foods, extra gauze and tape, some type of comfortable lightweight ice pack, and... I that's about all I can think of for now. I've seen that a lot of females and pre-surgery checklists that include tons of stuff! I just had the bare essentials---and not even that. I had to walk from my hotel room to Walgreens just after surgery to get some vaseline. Will you have someone with you to help take care of you?

Hi, I totally support you and your choice. I would like to have a revision done by Dr. Frankel but had not consultation yet. I need to save money as I am from Melbourne Australia and I need a lot extra for flights and accommodation. I am confident your surgery with Dr. Frankel will go well. From what I have read he is one of the top surgeons in the world. please post some photos after your surgery. It will help me confirm my decision to go with Dr. Frankel. Stay calm!

So after a failed first rhinoplasty in June 2015,...

So after a failed first rhinoplasty in June 2015, I have been spending countless hours on this site along with others, reviewing the best surgeon for my revision rhinoplasty. The decision to go forward with a secondary rhinoplasty was not taken lightly either. I'd have many days this past year of going back and forth over the procedure. I guess I've finally come to the realization that I don't want to always look at myself and see my botched nose. Or look at a picture of myself and think how much happier I was with my original nose. So, if there is a pretty good chance that my nose can be fixed, then I need to try.
I've reached out to many of Dr. Frankel's previous patients who have been wonderful and who have helped me with my decision to move forward. So, I know that I have to return the favour by writing this post and sharing my revision rhinoplasty journey with you.
The surgery is booked for the end of September, and I will be providing details on everything here. Please let me know if you have any questions.
As for how I'm feeling right now, I'm nervous, I have a ton of anxiety about the whole thing, but I am trying to stay as positive as possible about everything.

Welcome to the community, I'm thrilled that you are here and I hope you find lots of support from the gang. Sounds like you've vested a lot time and energy into researching your upcoming revision, what's some of the most helpful advice that you found on RealSelf?

What are you having done?

my nose is asymmetrical. Too much was removed from the left tip and my nostrils are showing too much now. He is going to add spreader grafts to straighten my nose, bring down the tip slightly and bring down my nostrils.

Thank you for your review and good luck with the revision, I think dr Frankel is an excellent choice. I also had a horrible result from my surgery with dr Bartlett.

Oh my goodness! I'm so, so sorry to hear this! I've spoken with so many of his patients now that are extremely unhappy with their nose following rhinoplasty with him. I hope you will be writing a review?
